Le Guin.â€â€”The Guardian  “[A] fascinating and thoughtful science fiction novel that examines] adaptation, social change, and human relationships. I’ve not read anything quite like it, which makes it that rare beast: a true original.â€â€”Kate Elliott, author of the Crown of Stars series and The Spiritwalker Trilogy  “Reads like smooth jazz comfort food, deceptively familiar and easy going down, but subtly subversive . . .
